Lostprophets are set to release their fifth studio album ‘Weapons’ on June 19th via Fearless Records. The CD is a follow-up to the Welsh rock band’s four previous releases – 2000’s ‘fakesoundofprogress’, 2004’s ‘Start Something’, 2006’s ‘Liberation Transmission’, and 2010’s ‘The Betrayed’.

Frontman Ian Watkins said about the new album on the label: “With the business being as it is, and America being such a huge market to be absent from, we couldn’t be more flattered and excited that Fearless are giving us another crack at it – Another shot, if you will. Warped Tour will remind everyone – old fans and new – how good it is having Lostprophets on these shores. It’s been a long time since a UK rock band has made a real impact in America and we’re ready to carry that torch.”

‘Weapons’ will be the band’s first North American release since ‘Liberation Transmission’. The album was recorded in North Hollywood, California at NRG Studios with producer Ken Andrews (A Perfect Circle, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club).

Tracklist for ‘Weapons’: 1. Bring ‘Em Down 2. We Bring An Arsenal 3. Another Shot 4. Jesus Walks 5. A Song for Where I’m From 6. A Little Reminder That I’ll Never Forget 7. Better Off Dead 8. Heart on Loan 9. Somedays 10. Can’t Get Enough

In support of the new album, Lostprophets is currently on a European headline tour, with support from Young Guns, and will continue their Stateside takeover throughout the summer on the Vans Warped Tour 2012 from July 12th through August 5th.
